My astro van wouldnt start, sounds like outta gas, it has gas. Battery fine. Had it towed to house, guy said sounds like fuel pump. But the gas tank has to be dropped in my van he said. Also have always had a problem with the gas gage being off. Shows half tank when its 1/4 etc. Works when it wants. Approx cost to have it done? If thats the issue. Will crank but not turn over like rur rur rur strong but o. Thanks

Do below to confirm if its fuel or spark related problem

Disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, cap and rotor /distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, ECM, Ignitor cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
